# Microservices Architecture
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An architectural style that structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled, independently deployable services, each implementing a specific business capability.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Microservices represent a departure from monolithic architecture, emphasizing service autonomy, bounded contexts, and decentralized data management.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Key Characteristics:**
|
||
|
|
- Independent deployment and scaling
|
||
|
|
- Service-oriented API contracts (typically REST or gRPC)
|
||
|
|
- Decentralized data management (database-per-service)
|
||
|
|
- Polyglot persistence and technology diversity
|
||
|
|
- Failure isolation and resilience patterns
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Common Use Cases:**
|
||
|
|
- Large-scale web applications
|
||
|
|
- Cloud-native applications
|
||
|
|
- Continuous delivery environments
|
||
|
|
- Organizations requiring team autonomy
|
||
|
|
- Systems requiring differential scaling
